“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan

1670 is 4 times the size of 1678 if its still one SS, being backside and all, massive!

AR1670 was decaying before it went beyond the limb. I think you're looking at the massive plage region which was remnants of megaspot 1654. I was closely watching that regions return (2 weeks ago) because it was so bright on the EUVI images and when it came over there wasn't much left in the way of spots. Although the plage and loops were enormous, its spots vanished and it went away without a flicker or flare.

I believe you're right Hugh,that would explain the signature.Have you ever been away from something and it feels difficult to readjust? I have no problem with geophysics but heliophysics and solar tech aren't natural to me , so I have to work extra hard. Maybe thats why I love it so much. Thanks for your insight!

AMAZING that transitor!
